AN>v Dependent Pension Bill.

1. is announced at the headquarters OF
the Grand Army that n new dependent
pension bill is being prepared und r the
direction Of General Fairchild. II was
drafted BY the National Pension Commit
tee of tie Grand Army. and will DO sent I o
oil Grend Army Pos with the cxpectat on
hat they will commend it TO the favorable
attention of the next Congress. The main
provisions Of the bill differ but little from
the last bill that was vetoed by Cleveland,
md il could scarcely expect better 'reat-
ment from his hands. But it is we'll to be
considering the subject, and the neglect q
the Democratic party in Congress, ard
Cleveland's brutal indifference to the claims
Of the Union soldier, do not relieve others
of their responsibility in the matter. The
old comrades of the Grand Army will keep
on doing the duty to the living and the
dead, whether they are supported by Cop.
perhead President and q Copperhead party
or not. The day will come when the
nation will do justice to the Union soldier.
and it is we'll TO keep working forward
with that end in view.-Des Mosaes Regie-

Temperature Of Dwelling. Rooms.

DIR. d. Benjamin, of Camden, N. j.,
has made some observations regarding
the subject of the varying temperature
of our dwelling-rooms which will be
found of much practical Importance.
Every one knows in a general way
that the air of rooms is colder near the
floor and neal the windows, but the
very exact differences of temperature
vs. obtained by DR.. Benjamin are very
striking. For example, in a room ten
feet high, twelve feet wide, and twenty
feet long, with q good stove and steady
fire, the temperature in the center was
found to be 7Sdegrees Fahrenheit; four
feet from the window it was 20 degrees;
o foot from the window 81 degrees,
and at the window 40 degrees. At the
height Of the head the temperature
was rs degrees, at the floor so degrees,
q difference Of 25 degrees. At the cell
ing the temperature was 30 degrees
when the temperature at the height of
the head was so degrees.
The fact that the temperature of
dwelling-rooms varies SO widely ex-
plains, no doubt, the frequency with
which young children. and even adults,
take cold in the house. A child sitting
ON o nurses lap in a temperature of 20
degrees gets down and plays on the
floor in a temperature 10 or more de-
grees lower, or runs to the window, a
change Of 20 or 80 degrees. The habit
which ladies have OF wearing slippers
or light shoes in the house is tho cause
of many troubles for these same
reasons.
The temperature oil o room should be
about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot,
furnaco-heated houses OF onr city cause
q vast deal Of nervous and respiratory
trouble. The thermometer should be
hung at about the height of the per-
sons head, and. of course, not zeal the
window or the stove. Medical Rec

PEOPLE.
THE LAND OF

Far away, and yet so near us. lies land
where all have been.
PLAYED beside it's sparkling waters. danced
along its meadows green.
where the busy world we dwell in and its
noises only seem
Like the echo of a tempest or the shadow OF a
dream:
And it grows not old forever. sweet and young
it is to-day
TITS the Land of Little People, where the
happy children play.
And the things they know and see there are
so wonderful and grand.
Things that wiser folks and older cannot know
nor understands:
In the woods they meet the fairies, find the gi-
ants in their caves,
See the palaces of cloudland and the mermen
in the waves,
Know what all the brides sing of, hear the Sc
crets of the flowers
For the Land of Little People is another world
than ours.
Once twas ours; tbs ours no longer, Tor wnen
nursery time is DER,
Through the Land of Little People we may
wander nevermore,
But we hear their merry voices ana we see
them at their play.
And our own dark world grows brighter and
we seem as young as they,
Roaming over shore and meadow, taking 70
the birds and flowers
For the land of Little People is fairer world

the convenience and pleasure of others9
And this constitutes true politeness. 1t is
perpetual attention (by habit it grows
easy and natural to us) to the little wants
of those we are with, by which we either
prevent or remove them. Bowling cere-

ties will never be politeness; that must be
easy, natural, unstudied, manly, noble.

A CURIOUS CLOCK.

A clock recently patented in France is
in imitation of a tambourine, on the parch-
ment head of which is painted a circle Of
flowers, corresponding to the hour figures
of ordinary dials. On examination, two
bees, one large and the other small, are
discovered crawling among the flowers.
The small bee runs rapidly from one
flower to another, completing the circle
in an hour, while the large one takes
twelve hours to complete the circle. The
parchment is unbroken, and the bees
simply laid upon it, but two magnets
connected with the clockwork inside the
tambourine, move just under the mem
brane, and the insects, which are of iron,
follow them.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT BEES.


A recently published book by Mr.
Frank r. Cheshire, lecturer at South
Kensington, gives some curious items Of
information about bees. A lens magnify
ing fifty times will reveal the trache@
and also the beautiful sslivary glands
which skill full operator may extract
through the head, after immersing the in
sect up to its neck in wax. There is con-
siderable discussion among apiarists as to
the uses of these glands, in which is Incl
dentally included the question whether
bees feed their young by regurgitating
semi. digested food or by glandular sys-
tenn producing nutritive secretion. Mr..
Cheshire finds in the digestive system, in
which "the salivary and gastric secretions
perform precisely the same functions in
both 4 4 Il most helpful similarity Of
physical structure between mankind and
BEES"
Bees have, however, the great advan-
tage over mankind of being able to carry
a large stock of food and drink in their
insides, and of having the power of feeding
them upon these stores by means of what
is called the "stom mach mouth" at pleas
ure; or, if they choose, they can convert
these provisions into building materials.
Their foot is furnished with very sharp
and powerful claw, and with sort of soft
pad that gives out a clammy secretion, by
means of which they are able to walk on
smooth surfaces. It is by the claws that
bees hang one to another in swarming.
The cutting off of bees head does not
apparently OF necessity kill it; for "drones
in confinement will sometimes live very
much longer without their heads than
with them" The head, however, is not
an unimportant part of the bee, which
has larger proportion of brain than
many other insects.
The poisonous property of the sting of
bees lies in the formic acid it discharges.
which is also probably associated with
some other toxic agent" The idea that
the bee invariably dies after singing is
vulgar error. "It will, if allowed time,
generally carry it's sting away by travel
ing round upon the wound, giving the in
strument screw movement until it is
free" More usually, however, the bee is
not allowed time to "travel round" and
she loses not only the sting and the ven
ON gland and sac, but also the lower por-
ton of the bowel, so that her death fol-
lows in an hour or two.

POWER OF A KIND VOICE.


There is no power of love SO hard to get
and keep as kind voice. A kind hand
is deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in
flesh and blood. yet do the work OF soft
heart, and do it with soft touch. But
there is no one thing that love SO much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what it
means and feels; and it is hard to get and
keep it in the right tone. One must start
in youth and be on the watch night and
day, at work and play, to get and keep
voice that shall speak at all times the
thought of kind heart. 1t is often in
youth that one gets voice or tone that
is sharp, and sticks to him through life,
and stirs up ill-will and grief, and falls
like drop of gall on the sweet joys of
home. Watch it day by day as pearl of
great price, for it will be worth more to
you in days to come than the best pearl
hid in the sea. A kind voice is to the
heart what light is to the eye. It is
light that sings as we'll as shines.-Eihu
Burritt.
